Real started to solve Mbappe’s problem in time

ANDl Defensive system of Borussia Dortmund it was enough for the football world to understand this The “9” position does not please Kylian Mbappe.. The yellow wall in which he was trapped for 90 minutes of the first leg of the semi-final Champions League were a perfect example of how Madrid began preparations for the arrival of the Frenchman on time. Only Vitinha pulled his weight to prevent PSG from achieving a better result… and the German team had reason to dream of another final. Step by step. First you will have to visit the Parque de los Principes.

“7”, which does not correspond to “9”.

In summer, Vinicius had to change some of what he had learned, a lesson that had led him to become one of the best in his job, to position himself at the service of Ancelotti’s new mission.. The Brazilian always had more fun when his game started on the left… until Jude arrived. Seven has found that playing central allows him to be closer to goal and he has adapted well to his new role, which could be a prelude to the emergence of a Bondi star. The “7”, which does not fit into the “9”, has already made it clear several times that he is uncomfortable in this position, and the Champions League match against Borussia was a perfect example of this.. Real saw the problem in time and began to look for a solution even before the PSG player landed.

Edin Terzic designed a yellow wall for Kylian Mbappe

. Their defensive structure was enough to irritate a player who didn’t come into the game the way his team would have liked. Hummels, who recovered his best version, let’s note his beautiful “tackle” at the 7 in the center of the field, which helped cut off the French counter-attack. Mbappe felt very alone in the attacking zone. His best performances always came when he came in from the left flank, like the one he hit the post in the second half. In desperation and unable to find a passing line to connect with Vitinha, the number 7 was a mirror of the footballer we are accustomed to. Their faces on the grass expressed their feelings..

Asencio wanted to ride the Han Dragon, not the spinning cups.

From feeling his importance in Madrid’s titles, scoring goals to remember… to a very serious injury that was the impetus for his fall from grace as part of the white team.. Marco Asensio’s life changed in an instant and his decision to leave Madrid, difficult when you were very happy in a white club, was motivated by the search for new challenges and more minutes. “I have a difficult decision to make. I decided to start a new course in search of a new project where I can achieve new goals.”– he assured on his last day in white.

The reality is that the first thing he expected from his departure was that he enjoyed it.. For the two titles he won and for how well he adapted to life in the French capital. The second thing, which was undoubtedly the most important for the football player, has not yet happened.. In his final season with Real Madrid, in which he was more of a substitute than a starter, he played 51 games for Ancelotti. He scored 12 goals and provided eight assists. With PSG it was halved: 26 games, five goals and six assists. And Asensio left Madrid to play games like today. From the first minute. Because let’s not kid ourselves: being part of a group is important, but when you become a fundamental part of it, you no longer want to give up that wonderful attraction. Everyone wants to ride Dragon Khan, and it’s not about the spinning cups.. And with Luis Enrique, his role is more like the second attraction of the Prince’s Park. So far, 1256 minutes have been played, but not all of them are dedicated to important matches. At Signal Iduna Park, Asensio left without setting foot on the grass.

There is a PSG player that no one talks about

The Parisian club is full of stars. You look line by line and the names accumulate in Luis Enrique’s scheme. Donnarumma, Achraf, Marquinhos, Asensio, Dembele and, above all, Kylian Mbappe. However, there is a PSG player that no one is talking about… and he is by far the most important figure for the Spanish coach. The best by a terrifying margin is the French seven, who shine in the ecosystem led by Vitor Ferreira, aka Vitinha.. Signed in the summer of 2022 from Porto for 40 million euros, he inherited Verratti’s scepter and, with the arrival of Lucio, his football took a huge qualitative leap. The 17th man imbued his style without shaking the pulse thanks to his versatility and mobility on the field..

The ideal player is Luis Enrique. He does not lose the ball, is able to pin down opponents, penetrate between the lines, join the attack and score goals. His name does not monopolize everyone’s attention, but his football, especially live, is what PSG needed to make the decisive leap. And if against Barça he played one of his best games (97% successful passes, won 75% of ground duels and accumulated 90% successful passes in the final third…), His presence on the Signal Iduna Park turf was the best decision for all his teammates. While Dortmund managed to lock Mbappe into their defensive structure, Vitigny’s mobility and personality were the only thing that kept PSG from going into the break with a big result.. So from above, where Lucio forces his analysts to record and cut up plays to try to beat the opposition, it must have dawned on the Spanish coach that all balls had to go through Vitinha first… and then fate will say.

Nobody beats the Spaniards in advance, but this thing with the yellow wall…

In Munich, the 4,000 soldiers who accompanied Real Madrid into the first leg of the Champions League semi-final showed that there are certain things in which the Spanish have never had a rival.. A good pre-party is almost a must for fans of any team in Spain… something that belies what happened the next day in Dortmund. Here the German and the Frenchman faced each other, but, as in any joke that begins this way, the funniest thing always comes from the Spaniard. And outside Signal Iduna Park, the feeling was more like a regional football match.

. There were some T-shirts visible, people drinking beer, but no fans singing to liven up the preview. Neither of us were heard on the streets of Dortmund. Perhaps this was because the yellow wall was already ready for battle.

Inside, the story was completely different. There, the impressive yellow wall is unmatched by many football teams that can be found on the football planet. A few hours before the first whistle, the wall was already inside… and so the arrival of the buses was colder than expected. 4,000 Frenchmen also came to Dortmund, trying to attract attention with their chants, flares and other devices. However, the only way to “defeat” the yellow wall would be to play the match in Paris. There are few possible explanations to understand that the yellow wall is different from everything else. There is nothing like it in the world. An environment worth exploring makes him the 12th player every club dreams of. 81,365 souls carried Borussia Dortmund into flight to lay the first stone for victory.
